It's on the questionnaire, I can't imagine why. Good lord, I must admire some historical figure, why can't I think of any? I can only think of terrible people.

Oh, she's a very bad role model for me in so many ways, Matt!
Ada Lovelace is good, thanks! ETA Abigail Adams also good but I really only know her from 1776 and HBO

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It finally came to me, who I was trying to think of when I said anarchists! Sacco and Vanzetti!!

Do the historical people have to be dead? Because I want to go with Jimmy Carter. There are some queens of medieval Sudan who might go well.
